Modeling the ELENA Electron Cooler with COMSOL Multiphysics® Software
ELENA is a small cooler decelerator ring at CERN which will be built to increase substantially the number of usable antiprotons delivered to experiments for studies with antihydrogen and antiprotonic nuclei. COMSOL Multiphysics® software has been used to completely model the ELENA ... Read More
Modeling an Adsorption Process in a Shell-and-Tube-Heat-Exchanger-Type Adsorber
Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) and Temperature Swing Adsorption (TSA) are commonly used for separation/purification of gas mixtures in industrial processes. The cycle time of industrial TSA processes usually ranges from several hours to days. The reason for this long cycle time is the ... Read More
Numerical Investigation of Heat Transfer of Aluminum Metal Foam Subjected to Pulsating Flow
The rapid development of electronic devices leads to more demand for efficient cooling techniques. Porous media represent a convincing passive cooling enhancer due to its large contact surface area to volume ratio and intense mixing of fluid flow. In the present work, numerical studies ...

An Automatic Modeling Approach for Optimized Positioning of an Electrostimulative Implant in the Human Femoral Head
Introduction Electromagnetic stimulation is a common therapy to support bone healing in cases of avascular necrosis or pseudarthrosis. An electrostimulative screw implant (Asnis III s-series screw in Figure 1) is used to stimulate bone regeneration in the treatment of femoral head ... Read More
Acoustical Analysis of a Home Recording Studio
In this poster the acoustic analysis of a small home recording studio is presented.. Figure 1 illustrates the recording studio room which was simulated using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software with the Acoustics Module [1]. The propagation of sound is modeled as pressure waves in which ... Read More
Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Material Structure Grading in the Direction Normal to the Electrode/Electrolyte Interface Using COMSOL Multiphysics®
Fuel cells (FCs) are promising as an energy producing device, which at this stage of development will require extensive analysis and benefit from numerical modeling at different time- and length scales. COMSOL Multiphysics® is used to describe an intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel ... Read More
Role of the Diffusion Current in Nonequilibrium Modeling of Welding Arcs
2D self-consistent nonequilibrium model of a free-burning arc in argon has been developed. The model is based on the COMSOL Multiphysics® platform and describes in a self-consistent manner the fluid dynamics, the heat transfer, the magneto-electrodynamics, and species conservation. The ...

Birefringence Induced in Optical Rib Waveguides by Thermal and Mechanical Stresses
In this paper a multiphysics approach to study the optical properties of integrated waveguides influenced by thermal and mechanical stress is presented. The heating and pressure effects are evaluated by means the Heat Transfer and Structural Mechanics modules respectively. Finally, the ... Read More
Simulation of Groundwater Flow Patterns around a Vertical Circulation Well
Vertical circulation wells (VCWs) are well system consisting dual-screened sections allowing synchronous extraction and injection of groundwater in a single borehole. Vertical circulation flow or dipole flow is induced. This type of well has been widely used for in-situ remidiation, ... Read More
Enhanced Surface Plasmon Polariton Propagation Induced by Active Dielectrics
We present numerical simulations for the propagation of surface plasmon polaritons in a dielectric-metal-dielectric waveguide using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. We show that the use of an active dielectric with gain that compensates metal absorption losses enhances substantially ... Read More
